title: Complementary therapies education in midwifery.
abstract: Midwives and their clients are becoming increasingly interested in the use of complementary and alternative therapies which offer a variety of different strategies for dealing with the effects of pregnancy and childbirth. This paper explores the current provision of complementary therapy education for midwives, and suggests the establishment of a new clinical specialism of complementary therapies in midwifery.
